Education, Support, and Advocacy for Birth and Wellness Choices Across Hawai'i |
7th Annual Labor Day Gathering 2022
This gathering is intended to inspire the collaborative efforts necessary to improve maternal and infant health outcomes in our community by collectively recognizing and embracing indigenous wisdom. This will serve as a starting point for revitalized advocacy and support for traditional midwifery, sovereign birthing choices, and reproductive justice. Working together, we can bring about the collective healing that is essential to the health of Hawai'i's people.
Keynote Speaker - Nicolle Gonzales Navajo midwife and founder of Changing Woman Initiative in New Mexico. Nicolle will be sharing her story of opening the nation's first Native American birth center. Her mission is renewing cultural birth knowledge to empower and reclaim indigenous sovereignty of women's medicine and life way teachings to promote reproductive wellness, healing through holistic approaches and to strengthen women's bonds to family and community.
